“So annoying... the city has turned into such a ss, you can’t even find a place to eat fried rice with egg.”
Vieya was fuming, walking with her black umbrella, stopping and starting.
The street was in complete disarray: collapsed shelves, shattered clay jars, vegetable leaves sared with mud...
Even as a sli girl, after all that intense movent, of course she felt tired.
Another day of nostalgia—when she had been a Hero, there was always soone to feed her when she was hungry, soone to keep her company when she wanted to sleep.
All this way, Xiao Lü hadn’t shown her form, but now she quietly appeared, sticking close to Vieya like a little tail.
“Humans really are getting worse and worse. Even the defenses of a first-class city are this flimsy, letting filth sneak inside. I just ca back and already sothing like this happens. I don’t even want to imagine what goes on when I’m not around.” Vieya sighed.
“How do you have the face to say that, Ye-ye sis!”
Xiao Lü was speechless. “Aren’t you one of those goblins’ accomplices?”
“What do you an, goblins’ accomplice?”
Vieya, who had only been a little gloomy before, instantly laughed in anger at that line.
“That whole ss is because humans can’t be bothered to act. What does that have to do with , a sli girl? I’m still young, I’m not humanity’s father or mother. And most importantly—
stop giving those weird nicknas!”
“What’s wrong with a weird nickna?”
Xiao Lü looked innocent. “Didn’t you also co up with mine and Sister Red’s nas? Xiao Hong and Xiao Lü, red-red green-green, so easy to rember... that’s what you said back then. And anyway, isn’t ‘Ye-ye sis’ better than Xiao Hong and Xiao Lü?”
What Ye Chi nad back then—what does that have to do with , Vieya?!
Seriously, in this day and age, dragging out old debts, is that fun?
Fuming at the thought, Vieya’s erald eyes went wide, and she raised her voice without realizing:
“How is that the sa?”
“How is it not the sa?”
Xiao Lü looked troubled. She might be a spirit of an artifact, but that didn’t an she was heartless.
Her soul was very sensitive.
Now Ye-ye sis acted even more reckless and unrestrained than before.
Back then it could still be explained away as a Hero’s temper.
But now—
she was simply evolving into one of those carefree wastrels among humans, cutting all ties and living only for the day.
In the past, before disciplining a student, she would certainly have a long heart-to-heart first, giving them ti to prepare themselves ntally.
But now? Heart-to-heart? Doesn’t exist. Ti to prepare? None. Patience? Definitely lacking.
Sigh.
She really couldn’t tell if this change was good or bad.
But looking at her, she seed to be enjoying it, genuinely happy.
Forget it then, as long as she’s happy.
There aren’t many things worth being glad about in these tis.
Just hope the Hero doesn’t get too addicted to this monster-girl way of living—acting without thinking, relying only on instinct.
As for offering advice? Xiao Lü wouldn’t dare. Otherwise Ye-ye sis would definitely say:
“So what?”
“You’re teaching how to do things?!”
How could a tiny artifact spirit dare to tell the Hero what to do?
On this land, probably only Flaviel could make the Hero go all out and have even a little fun.
But unfortunately...
Better slip away.
When Xiao Lü went silent, Vieya’s pace picked up noticeably.
As a first-class city, ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ Deerhorn’s roads were well-developed, connected in all directions.
The only pity was how long it had been eroded by ti, leaving the whole city marked by age.
An old city indeed.
Returning to an old place, but everything had changed.
Now, only she remained.
So thinking, Vieya suddenly stopped. Ahead, the road was cordoned off, black-clothed figures patrolling with lanterns.
At the sa ti, a black cat darted across the wall like an arrow loosed from a bow.
“Ye-ye sis, the source of the monster riot in the city is just up ahead. Should we go check it out?”
“...”
Before, with sothing like this, she might have jumped in without hesitation.
Normally monsters would avoid her, so when one ca forward on its own, of course she had to see what it was.
What if it was another rare spawn from the wild?
Wouldn’t it drop special materials?
Being a captain had never been easy—not only diating between party mbers, but also making sure consumables were replenished.
Back then, it was just sothing she had to keep an eye on.
But now...
her goal seed to overlap with that group of black-clothed n’s. Should she avoid them? No, wrong!
The ones who should avoid weren’t her.
It was that group of black-clothed n.
Vieya stood in the rain with her black umbrella. Back when she was the number-one Hero, she had always been surrounded by good people.
A squad of black-clothed n ca toward them.
Xiao Lü blinked, then very unloyally faded away, leaving Vieya standing there alone.
The black-clothed n strode over, aggressive, lanterns and black clubs in hand looking very nacing.
“Idle rabble, leave imdiately!”
